True. It might be fun to find a 2GB CF card. Prices have been
dropping and capacities increasing in flash media for years, and small
models are at the point of being prizes in CrackerJax boxes. I got

I've never used any of these emulators so far.
Now I can boot FreeDOS with Syslinux from USB stick, either with XMGR.SYS (menu
option 3) or without drivers (option 4).

I know you've mentioned Linux and FreeBSD. Have you not tried FreeDOS under
QEMU, VirtualBox, or Bochs?

Why would you *need* to?
I still have my original PC clone running DOS in a shelf. I has a
replacement motherboard with a NEC V20 chip running at 10mhz, 640K of
Freedos can give me fat 32 capabilities. Reading & writing to bigger
chips.
Qpro 3 works great. I hate to mess with sucess. Sometimes the new version
isn't as good as the old - it happens.

That's good to know.
I agree but I don't know of anyone besides you guys that get into
this stuff. My system meets my book keeping needs which my biggest
use. Right now I'm using PC DOS 7.1 becuse it does so well with usb flash

Everybody seems to run DOS under something else like
